I want to re-upholstery an arm chair, which is used but not heavily used. Is the fabric strong enough for that purpose&gt;

It is pretty strong. I think if it isn't too heavily used, this fabric would work. It doesn't look that great, but it's soft and comfortable. It will do the job, but whether it'll look good is a different story.

I bought this recliner not long ago and we don't use it much, so the fabric has remained like new. I have another complain which is that this recliner is not confortable at all, and if I had known, I would have never bought it. I know that was not your question but, I include it anyway.

I have used upholstery fabric with this machine but only to make tote bags. It's a very durable machine but I wouldn't say it's a commercial machine to use upholstery fabric all of the time!!

I would say yes. This is not fabric made for covering furniture. Especially for spills. You won't be able to wipe spills from it like plastic. But it is pretty sturdy. I use it to make scarves, shawls and skirts. It is really pretty.

Unless the chairs are fabric I wouldn't recommend spending the money on this product. There are better quality options for metal, plastic, wicker, etc at your local home improvement store or Wal-Mart for example. I used this product for a standard back and seat fabric patio chair and it took one full can for a single cushion. It did not work well at all and I followed the directions exactly. It made the fabric rough and stiff. After weeks of using it still rubbed off on your clothes and I had to use towels until I could have the cushions recovered. I would not recommend this product for fabric even though that is what is supposed to be made for. Certainly wouldn't spend the money on spray painting stackable chairs when you could use Krylon or other reasonably priced spray paint. Depending on the size of the chairs Krylon paint should paint at least 3 or 4 chairs easily.

I have used it on fabric chairs and it is not as slip resistant, but not completely loose to move around.

I would say yes. There is a lot of excess material and my chair looks like the one above.

I used it on leather golf shoes and a micro fiber pullover, no problem. I have not used it furniture though and would do a small section first if I was you.

Mine has torn from being pulled. But the fabric is still pretty thick and tough. I'm going to buy another one for another piece of furniture. You can't beat the price on this. I would say that it will stand up to your weather, just be gentle pulling it back over the furniture.

I think the fabric will hold up, we have a cat with claws. I bought the love seats for a 6 bed assisted living, so they are getting alot of use.

I used this product to repair a small tear on a leather sofa seat. The adhesive part is very strong and remained flexible after several months of daily use. I also used the backer cloth supplied, it pretty hefty. Color matching was a bit tricky, but the repair blended in OK, after some trial and error. Should work on car door, although I'm not sure what the temp changes will do to it. This product does use heat setting step to finish up, but not sure about cold.

I think that the only way for your use would be to make sure the fabric is pulled taut. But, personally, I think this is too heavy handed for your use. I'd put the money into something lighter.

The chair is covered with a very durable chair fabric, I feel the fabric covering will last a considerable length of time.

I would only use on a child's chair. It's a clamp attachment and should not tear any chair fabric.

Yes, my leather chair arm looked awful . I really didn't think it could be fixed. So I googled how to fix it and ran across this product. To be honest I can't believe how good it looks. Trim off the excess leather and stuffing. Fill it in with the filler and lightly sand. It took several applications but soon it was completely fill in and remarkably smooth. Mixing the color was a little tricky but I finally got it pretty darn close. You really can't tell it was ever damaged. I was quite proud of my work. The cat has been declawed. Good luck it is a great product.

NO not good for upholstery. Buy a good upholstery staple gun for that. They are cheap and you can get staples in regular and/or stainless depending on the application.

Any heavier fabric would be fine. I wouldn't use it on knits or silks that could snag or run. The bristles are really very soft.
